CONDITIONS  OF  SALE 

1  The   highest   bidder  to   be   the   buyer,   and   if  any   dispute   arise 

between  two  or  more  bidders,  the  lot  so  in  dispute  shall  be 
immediately  put  up  again  and  re-sold. 

2  The   Auctioneer   reserves   the   right   to   reject   any  bid  which   is 

merely  a  nominal  or  fractional  advance,  and  therefore,  in  his 
judgment,  likely  to  affect  the  sale  injuriously. 

3  The  purchasers  to  give  their  names  and  addresses,  and  to  pay 

down  a  cash  deposit,  or  the  whole  of  the  purchase  money,  if 
required,  in  default  of  which  the  lot  or  lots  so  purchased  to 
be  immediately  put  up  again  and  re-sold. 

4  The  lots  to  be  taken  away  at  the  buyers'  expense  and  risk  within 

twenty-four  hours  from  the  conclusion  of  the  sale,  unless 
otherwise  specified  by  the  auctioneer  or  managers  previous  to 
or  at  the  time  of  sale,  and  the  remainder  of  the  purchase 
money  to  be  absolutely  paid,  or  otherwise  settled  for  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  Auctioneer,  on  or  before  delivery;  in  de- 
fault of  which  the  undersigned  will  not  hold  himself  respon- 
sible if  the  lots  be  lost,  stolen,  damaged,  or  destroyed,  but 
they  will  be  left  at  the  sole  risk  of  the  purchaser. 

5  The  undersigned  will  not  hold  himself  responsible  for  the  cor- 

rectness of  the  description,  genuineness,  or  authenticity  of, 
or  any  fault  or  defect  in,  any  lot,  and  make  no  warranty 
whatever. 

6  To    prevent    inaccuracy    in    delivery,    and    inconvenience    in    the 

settlement  of  the  purchasers,  no  lot  can,  on  any  account,  be 
removed  during  the  sale. 

7  Upon  failure  to  comply  with   the  above  conditions,  the  money 

deposited  in  part  payment  shall  be  forfeited;  all  lots  un- 
claimed within  one  day  from  the  conclusion  of  sale  (unless 
otherwise  specified  as  above)  shall  be  re-sold  by  public  or 
private  sale  without  further  notice,  and  the  deficiency  (if  any) 
attending  such  re-sale  shall  be  made  good  by  the  defaulter 
at  this  sale,  together  with  all  charges  attending  the  same. 
This  condition  is  \vithout  prejudice  to  the  right  of  the  Auc- 
tioneer to  enforce  the  contract  made  at  this  sale,  without  such 
re-sale,  if  he  thinks  lit.

FIRST  SESSION

CATALOGUE 


1  Letter  from  Consul  Larkin  to  Vice  Consul  Leidesdorff, 

dated  April  13,  1846,  notifying-  the  vice  consul  that 
there  was  a  council  of  war  then  in  session  '"to  see  what 
good  can  be  done  for  the  country."  This  is  by  far  the 
most  important  of  Consul  Larkin's  letters,  and  its  ab- 
sence from  Larkin's  collection  marred  a  very  impor- 
tant chapter  in  Mr.  Bancroft's  History  of  California. 
This  letter  contains  other  important  historical  data. 

2  Letter  From  Commander  Montgomery  to  Vice   Consul 

Leidesdorff  informing  the  consul  that  he,  Montgom- 
ery, would  on  the  next  morning  land  a  body  of  men 
under  arms  and  hoist  the  American  flag,  read  Admir- 
al Sloat's  proclamation,  and  confer  the  proper  author- 
ity upon  the  Alcalde.  Yerba  Buena,  July  8,  1846. 
This  is  certainly  the  first  document  relating  to  the 
history  of  this  city  under  the  government  of  the 
United  States. 

3  Letter  of  Lieut.  J.  W.  Rever  to  "Mr.  Kern  or  other  offi- 

cer of  the  U.  S.,  in  command  at  New  Helvetia." 
This  letter  bears  the  same  relation  to  Sacramento 
that  the  communication  of  Commander  Montgomery 
does  to  San  Francisco,  and  is  of  equal  importance  his- 
torically. The  above  letters  are  specimens  of  more 
than  500  documents  of  similar  character  in  possession 
of  the  writer,  and  which  he  intends  to  offer  for  sale 
in  this  market,  when  properly  summarized  and  cat- 
alogued. This  letter  is  dated  Sonoma,  July  9,  1846. 


It  will  be  unnecessary  to  remind  the  intelligent  collector  of 
the  importance  of  the  foregoing  three  items.  These  letters  are  not 
in  the  Bancroft  Library,  the  Library  of  Congress,  nor  in  any  of  the 
Departmental  Libraries  in  Washington.  They  are  unique,  and  are 
historical  units  of  the  first  importance.  Their  reproduction  will  be 
limited  to  100  copies  of  each  letter,  and  it  is  the  intention  of  the 
owner  of  the  originals  to  print  no  more  until  this  hundred  is  dis- 
posed of  to  bona  fide  collectors.  A  list  of  the  purchasers  will  be 
kept,  and  no  purchaser  can  have  more  than  one  copy  of  each  letter.

Extract  from  the  Will  of  Edmond  de  Goncourt: 

(Trans.) 

"My  wish  is  that  my  Drawings,  my  Prints,  my  Curiosities,  my 
Books—in  a  word  these  things  of  art  which  have  been  the  joy  of 
my  life— shall  not  be  consigned  to  the  cold  tomb  of  a  museum,  and 
subjected  to  the  stupid  glance  of  the  careless  passer-by;  but  I 
require  that  they  shall  all  be  dispersed  under  the  hammer  of  the 
Auctioneer,  so  that  the  pleasure  which  the  acquiring  of  each  one  of 
them  has  given  me  shall  be  given  again,  in  each  case,  to  some  in- 
heritor of  my  own  tastes."
